The Disney Dream is the third cruise ship operated by Disney Cruise Line, part of The Walt Disney Company. She is the second-largest ship in the cruise line fleet. She currently sails three-day, four-day, and occasional five-day cruises to the Bahamas. The other four ships in the fleet are the Disney Magic, Disney Wonder, Disney Fantasy, and Disney Wish.
She entered service in 2011; her sister ship, Disney Fantasy, was deployed in 2012.
In February 2007, Disney Cruise Line announced that it had commissioned two new ships. The first steel cut, for scrollwork on the ship's hull, was in March 2009, at the Meyer Werft shipyards in Papenburg, Germany. Later that month, the two ships were named, with Disney Dream set to enter service first, followed by her sister ship, Disney Fantasy. The design of Disney Dream was unveiled at a press conference in New York City, on October 29, 2009.
The keel of Disney Dream was laid on August 19, 2009. On June 1, 2010, the final section of the ship, the bow, was put into its place, completing the exterior, with work continuing on the interior of the ship. Float-out took place on October 30, 2010, and Disney Dream had her maiden voyage on January 26, 2011.
Disney Cruise Line took possession of Disney Dream on December 8, 2010. She arrived in Port Canaveral, Florida on January 4, 2011. Disney Dream was christened on January 19, 2011, by Jennifer Hudson, who began her career as an entertainer on Disney Wonder. Disney Dream's maiden voyage began on January 26, 2011, calling on Nassau, The Bahamas, and Disney's private island, Castaway Cay.
Since the ship's launch, the Disney Dream has sailed almost exclusively on three and four-night sailings to Castaway Сay and Nassau.
Disney Dream is 40% larger than the two older ships in the Disney Cruise Line family, Disney Magic and Disney Wonder, with a gross tonnage of 129,690 GT, a length of 1,114.7 ft (339.8 m) and a width of 137 ft (42 m). Disney Dream has 1,250 staterooms, carries 2,500 passengers (double occupancy) or a maximum of 4,000 passengers, and a crew of 1,458.
